In this episode of the "Ordinary Extraordinary Cemetery" podcast, Jennie chats with Sandra K. Doyle, a former deathcare industry professional turned author. Sandra's book, "MY LIFE AT THE CEMETERY: IT'S NOT AS DEAD AS YOU THINK", is a heartwarming and sometimes humorous collection of stories from her fourteen years working in the industry. She shares her Ordinary Extraordinary experiences and the valuable lessons she's learned along the way, inspiring us to appreciate the beauty in life. It is Sandy's prayer that "when you read these stories, you'll realize that we all have unique life experiences and that we can all learn from what others go through on this journey of life and death." 🪦
